As you may have read in my Banga Soup Post, I am having a giveaway to celebrate 1 year of being a food blogger. By His Grace, I hope to make this an annual thing, so there’s no time like the present to start this. Not like I have loads of money at my disposal at the moment or anything, but I am willing to make the sacrifice to show you guys that I truly appreciate your support.
Well enough of the suspense, okay not suspense because you must have guessed it when I said in the Baga Soup post, think Pounded Yam. I have 3 Food Processors to giveaway and I am going to have to group it somehow to make it fair and open. I am also making it into a competition of some sorts, with a panel of judges to make it fair, and not a game of luck.
Group 1 - You MUST be a member of So You Think You Can Cook to be considered. If you are already a member of this group, it automatically disqualifies you from the opportunity to win in the other groups, because I am going to select challenges for each group. I can verify your membership on the group, so no funny business here. Lol
For SYTCC Members, here is your task.
- Round 1 - Tell me the most creative dish you can whip up using a food processor, and tell me how much owning a food processor will improve your cooking. Answers should be posted on the Group wall – I have already taken permission from the Admins. The most creative answers will be shortlisted for Round 2.
- Round 2 - Take a cue from one of my recipes, turn it over on its head, and create something that is modern, and oh so Nigerian. It has to be from one of my recipes, because as part of your submission, you will say which recipe you used. I will also check the recipe post to see if it is not something I have mentioned that I can do with the recipe. Your submission has to be totally you. Express yourself, think outside the box, let your creativity take flight and produce a fabulous dish that is worthy of being posted on the blog, with all credit given to you. You will submit your creation (plus your recipe) on the SYTCC Group and tag me, so I can view it, and so will the panel of judges.
Group 2 - Well this is easy peasy. You MUST be an email subscriber to the blog AND you also have LIKE the Dooney’s Kitchen Facebook Page. Two actions, not either or. I know many of you read this blog, but to confirm some sort of identity for a start, I will need an email address and your Facebook account, to confirm that it is one and the same person. No funny business of creating multiple Email and Facebook accounts, because this is not a game of luck, where the higher your number of entries, the higher your chances of winning. So, if you have just been reading, or even commenting with your email address, I’m afraid you will have to subscribe to be considered eligible, because part of the competition to win this would involve sending me emails and pictures of your creations on Facebook. So, get to subscribing and liking.
The challenge for Group 2 is……………………….. I will hold it right there for now. To sweeten the pot and to check if truly you guys are interested in participating, I will be watching closely, how much increase in Likes the Facebook page and increase in email subscriptions I will get. When I notice some serious action, I will post the challenge for Group 2 on the Facebook page, so be on the lookout for that. If you Like the Dooney’s Kitchen Facebook page, you will know on your Facebook News Feed immediately when the details have been posted.
Group 3 - I am yet to confirm from the website administrators the details of this giveaway. Until I get the go ahead from them, it will not be proper to announce this yet. Of course, if you have entered in the competition for Group 1 and 2, you are automatically disqualified from participating in this group.
If you live in the UK, US, Canada or Nigeria, the competition is open to you. If you live outside of these countries, and you do win, you are going to have to send me a link to online stores in your location and I will see about purchasing something from them which will be paid for and you pick up from the store. Again, I would like to make it clear, that location is not part of the selection criteria for winning, so please do not be discouraged from participating. You win, and you would get a food processor somehow, even if it means we would have to get creative to organise something, or shipping will be involved, and I do mean that.
So get ready to be creative people. It is 1year since Dooney’s Kitchen started, and I hope I have truly inspired you in this past 12 months. Now, it is time to show me what you have learned.
